Hello guys, first post here at railwayforum and I'm straight in with a request!
The Library of Birmingham are opening up their vast photo archives for the first time. Amongst them is a huge collection of train, platform and related photos, many are Midlands-based but others are images from across the country. We are developing automated ways of tagging these photos so that they will eventually be searchable by everyone; however they're imperfect which is where you come in. We're developing a website where experts such as yourselves could go and view these rare photos and when you see something that you recognise, be it the model of train, or the location of the station, you could then tag it for us to help organise the collection.
Could you see yourself spending some time indentifying photos in this way? I will post some sample images from the collection bellow to give you a sense of what you will be looking at and if it is even possible to indentify the images.
Many thanks,
Tom
